So basically I was at a bar with some friends a few nights ago, and we had 7 pitchers of beer for the table. When the bill came, there was 10 pitchers on it. So I went up to the bar and said I think there's a mistake here, and tried to explain. The bartender who'd been serving us just said nope, no mistake, and that was that.
I am 100% sure we were being overcharged, so instead of tipping my usual 20%, I left no tip. I just figured that was easier than asking to speak to a manager and trying to argue, plus I'm mad that the server totally blew me off when I tried to address the problem. The amount that I was overcharged and the amount I would've tipped was about the same, so whatever.
I paid with my Chase credit card and now that I see it went through, they added $20 to the bill. I had a feeling they might try to do this, as the bartender was being rude and overcharging me in the first place, so I took a picture of the receipt I signed, with the original total and a $0.00 for the tip. So my question is now, what do I do? Do I go to the bar and ask to speak to a manager? Or just call Chase and dispute the credit card charge?
​
P.S. If you're mad that I didn't leave a tip: I'm not a peice of shit. This is the first time in my life I've not tipped a server, and I solely did it because they overcharged me and then refused to hear me out when I addressed it.

EDIT - Thanks for all the advice. I've opted to just open a dispute with Chase and I've given them my evidence. I might also look into reporting this to my state AG or some authority, in case this bar is doing this to more customers than just me.
